FAQ: How To Put Your Hair In A Bun

How do I put my hair in a bun for sleeping?

Opt for a product such as Kérastase. Towel-dried or damp hair should be sprayed with Porter and gently twisted into a bun. Instead of using an elastic or a hair band to fix the loose bun, use 2-3 bobby pins.

Why is it bad to put your hair in a bun?

For many of us, ponytails and buns are our everyday hairstyles. Avoid wearing your hair in a ponytail or in a bun that is too tight, as this can harm the hairline and the bottom area of hair. All of these places are vulnerable to breakage.

Does sleeping in a bun curl your hair?

When you put your hair up in a sock bun before going to bed, you’ll have gorgeous, wavy hair in the morning. Dampen your hair before putting it up so that it can dry in a curled shape overnight. Your hair will be naturally wavy when you take it down.
